Local Peugeot Dealership, SG Petch Peugeot, will host a car-wash event, including a special guest appearances from England Women’s rugby captain, Katy McLean, and the Darlington Mowden Park rugby team, on 7th November to raise money for its charity of the year, BBC Children in Need.

Members of the public are invited down to the McMullen road Dealership, between 10am-3pm to have their dirty cars cleaned by an army of sponge wielding Dealership team members for just £5, all of which will be donated to Children in Need.

Katy McLean and the Darlington Mowden Park rugby team will be at the Dealership between 10am-12pm for a meet and greet opportunity with the public.

The fun doesn’t stop there, with a variety of other activities set to take place on the day to entertain people of all ages, including a free face painter, colouring competitions games and prizes throughout the day. Pudsey will also be making a special appearance.

Steve Petch, Dealer Principal, said: “The team is really passionate about engaging with the local community, and what better way to get the public involved than by hosting a car-wash with Pudsey!

“There will be a hive of activity at the Dealership throughout the day and all we can ask is that the people of Darlington get involved and bring their cars down to raise money for a fantastic cause.”

The Peugeot and BBC Children in Need partnership has spanned three years, with the car manufacturer raising over £1 million for the charity to date.

John Sedgwick, Peugeot UK brand director, said: “Our BBC Children in Need car washes have always been received so well on a local level in recent years and we’re urging as many people as possible to get down to SG Petch Peugeot to ‘Get Sudsey with Pudsey’.

“After breaking through the £1 million barrier last year, the team is even more motivated to keep pushing for donations and encouraging as many people as possible to support such a worthy cause.”
